C229 He Had to Do It Himself

Cui finally knew that she was in a dangerous situation. The Xiao Nanfeng in front of her was thousands of times scarier than these ferocious beasts. She could no longer escape, just like how Xiao Nanfeng could not escape the attack of these ferocious beasts.

Cui sighed, "Alright. Then please tell me what you want to do. If you do not violate the rules, perhaps we can all leave safely. "

Xiao Nanfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head. "If I say it, you definitely won't agree. Then why should I say it? There is only one way to go now, and that is to capture you first!"

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Nanfeng had already stretched his body and jumped behind Cui. He grabbed her throat with one hand and grabbed her shoulder with the other.

Cui knew that this kind of situation would happen. She shook her head and smiled bitterly. "If I were you, I would never do this. Because if you catch me and want to blackmail me, then you will not do so. I will definitely point you in the wrong direction, and you will definitely not find out. "

Xiao Nanfeng slightly frowned, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he coldly looked at Cui. Although Cui was not pretty, she was definitely not ugly. Other than the slight acne on her face, her entire face had an air of elegance.

A wave of subtle fragrance kept coming from Cui's body to Xiao Nanfeng's nose. Xiao Nanfeng hesitated for a moment and put down both of his hands that were holding Cui at the same time. Because he knew that it was not very difficult to catch her again.

Cui rubbed her shoulder and said with a smile, "You are indeed a smart person. If it was someone else, perhaps they would not let go. Instead, they would hold her tighter. After all, there are not many opportunities to be so close to a woman's body. "

She smiled as she spoke, but Xiao Nanfeng's words made her unable to laugh anymore. "I want to know where your city lord lives. " Cui seemed to have heard the most unbelievable words in her life. She thought that Xiao Nanfeng was just a thief. He could easily get away with it.

But now, it seemed like Xiao Nanfeng's background was indeed not small. He was able to form a grudge with the City Lord and even dared to come here in the middle of the night. He definitely wasn't a simple person.

"Who the hell are you? If you were the City Lord's friend, I would naturally be the one to introduce you. However, from the looks of it, you must be looking for trouble. " Cui said in a resolute and furious voice.

Xiao Nanfeng smiled coldly. "That's right. I came here today to find trouble. If I didn't find trouble, who the f * ck would come here at night? Furthermore, I am here to find your City Lord. If you still want to live, then tell me quickly. "

Cui shook her head and said, "This matter, even if you kill me, I will not tell you. Because I told you, even if you did not kill me, the City Lord would still kill me. In any case, I will die. "

Xiao Nanfeng interrupted. Then tell me if you want to die in the future! I have a deep grudge with your city lord. This is not something you can imagine. Furthermore, I can guarantee that. . . After tonight, the Gusu City will definitely change its master, so you won't lose your life! "

Xiao Nanfeng's words made Cui very confused. She couldn't believe that someone would say such outrageous words. It was like saying that a country would be destroyed overnight.

Cui shook her head. "Kill me. I will never tell anyone about this. Furthermore, I really do not know where the City Lord lives. You must have heard of it. Every night, he lives in a different place. Therefore, it was impossible to find him. I advise you to leave obediently. There's still a way to live if you leave now. "

Xiao Nanfeng narrowed his eyes and said with trembling hands. "I will never leave. Either I die here, or I find Murong Ke. Since you don't want to tell me, then I can find him myself!"

With Cui by their side, these ferocious beasts really did not dare to approach. Cui was held by Xiao Nanfeng and slowly walked out of the courtyard. It turned out that the direction of this courtyard was actually a small grassland. This was a place that Xiao Nanfeng did not think of at all.

In the past, this place was originally a grassland. It was just that later on, someone built a palace here. Xiao Nanfeng walked down the grassland, but was stopped by Cui. "Tell me your name!"

Xiao Nanfeng did not look back. "Xiao Nanfeng!" The name pierced into Cui's heart like a steel nail. Tears suddenly flashed in Cui's eyes. There was a soft spot in her heart that seemed to have been stabbed.

This place was originally the barracks of the Devil Cult. Everything here naturally belonged to the Devil Cult, including Cui. Cui was Devil Cult Master Dugu Ming's maid back then. Moreover, she was a very trusting maid. After the Devil Cult collectively left this place, Dugu Ming simply did not bring Cui away in order to not implicate Cui.

Furthermore, Dugu Ming told Cui many of her secrets. The reason why Cui was so loyal to Murong Ke was because Murong Ke's son was Dugu Ming's son. She knew this secret and was willing to bring it to the grave.

But she never would have thought that the Xiao Nanfeng that Dugu Ming had missed a thousand times was actually this person in front of her. No matter how much imagination she had, she would never have thought that the handsome young man that Dugu Ming mentioned would actually become the current bearded uncle.

Xiao Nanfeng had not shaved his beard for a long time. Even though he had a knife by his side, he had never done so. He felt that the beard was the symbol of a man. Now, he needed enough courage and extraordinary willpower, so the beard could give him confidence.

So now he had become an uncle with a big beard, but all of this had nothing to do with him. Cui called him again, "Stop, don't go any further. "

Xiao Nanfeng stopped walking and asked faintly, "Why?" Cui shook her head. "Because there is a dead end ahead!" Xiao Nanfeng could not help being shocked. The seemingly peaceful place suddenly became a dead end. No matter who it was, they could not accept this fact.

Xiao Nanfeng sneered. "Are you trying to trick me into another trap? You know, I'm not a fool. I won't fall into a trap twice in the same place. " Cui smiled bitterly and said, "Then why do you think that this path is the right one?"

Xiao Nanfeng looked at the grassland and shook his head. "I do not think that this path is right. But this was randomly chosen by me. Since it is random, then even if it is wrong, it is still my fault. It has nothing to do with you. "

"Could it be that you've chosen a dead end? I know it, but I didn't tell you, so you definitely won't blame me?" Cui was somewhat shocked. She did not think that there was actually such a person in this world.

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head. "Definitely not, because I chose all of these by myself. Even if death awaits me, I asked for it. Besides, didn't you tell me just now? Since you told me, then I should thank you. Why would I blame you?"

Cui heard these words and her eyes were filled with gratitude. She shook her head. "This is really the first time I have seen someone like you. No wonder the Sect Leader kept you in mind. "

Xiao Nanfeng's ears suddenly moved. When he heard these words, he was first shocked, then he immediately rushed over and hugged Cui who was standing opposite him. He wanted to push Cui away, but it was already too late. A tiny needle had already pierced deeply into Cui's glabella. Cui fell down without any warning.

This place seemed to be bright and beautiful, but there were many hidden dangers. Cui used her remaining strength to tightly hold Xiao Nanfeng's hand, "Sect Leader, the Sect Leader told me to tell you that she has left. Don't look for her, you won't be able to find her either. She asked you to find the young master and raise him properly. "

Xiao Nanfeng excitedly hugged Cui's body, but Cui was already on the verge of death. No matter who it was, after being pierced through by a needle in the brain, there was absolutely no chance of survival.

Cui gradually lost consciousness, but she was still muttering Xiao Nanfeng's name. At this time, Xiao Nanfeng discovered that Cui's finger was pointing at a small path beside her, which led to a small path.

Xiao Nanfeng looked around. Although he knew that someone was staring at him, he didn't care at all because this person only attacked Cui, but didn't show up or attack Xiao Nanfeng.

Xiao Nanfeng didn't want to spend too much energy on useless things. He decided to follow Cui's instructions and walk towards the passageway. Cui just quietly fell down and never stood up again.

Xiao Nanfeng walked along the tunnel for about an hour. Finally, he saw an identical house in front of him. These houses were all built with wood structure. The workmanship and design were very delicate, and it could not help but be praised.

Xiao Nanfeng should be at the location of the secret passage, because there were no soldiers guarding this place, and there were no houses in the surroundings that were facing this place. This was the residence of the legendary Murong Ke. It was so grand and magnificent that people couldn't help but praise it.

If Xiao Nanfeng wanted to find Murong Ke's residence from so many rooms, it was no different from going to heaven and earth. However, he would never give up. Even if it was for the road Cui had pointed out for him, he would still try his best to find this place.

The place was right. Then it would be much easier. Xiao Nanfeng had thought that he would take a lot of detours. The worst plan would be to massacre the entire City Lord's Mansion. However, those innocent people didn't deserve to die, so he used this as his last resort.

He had to take revenge. No matter how many people bled, no matter how many innocent people died because of this, it didn't matter. Xiao Nanfeng's heart had already turned cold, but he still had some conscience.

Perhaps it was because of these consciousnesses that he appeared here. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to see Cui, let alone have a chance to come here safely.

Xiao Nanfeng looked around and found that there were no guards guarding the place. So he ran out of the tunnel and came to the front of the wooden houses. Although these houses were made of wood, each of them was very exquisite. To ordinary people, every single one of them was a mansion.

It was precisely these mansions that only served as a decoy for Murong Ke. Xiao Nanfeng finally knew that Murong Ke was not much more thrifty than any of the previous city lords. Over the past few thousand years, more than twenty city lords had appeared in Gusu City one after another. Of course, most of the time, they were in a state of chaos.

These city lords all had a common problem, and that was a waste. They could drink ten thousand taels of wine, eat ten thousand taels of meat, and sleep with ten thousand taels of meat for a night. Such people had indeed existed before, but they had also been destroyed because of this.

If such a person was not destroyed, Gusu City would sooner or later be eaten up by him. At that time, the people of Gusu would be the ones who would suffer the most. A few of the city lords were strangled to death by their maidservants. A few of them were also killed by his subordinates during their afternoon nap.

These were all bloody examples. Murong Ke had regarded them as a typical example, but now it seemed like they were worthless. Murong Ke was still like the past, wasting his time and resources.

Because no matter how much he squandered, it was not his own money. In the entire Gusu, every family had to pay taxes to him. So as long as he was the City Lord, this place would provide for him for a day.

This was also the reason why he didn't want to get along well with the Nalan family. This was the condition he proposed to Young Master Wuyue. As long as he became the City Lord, it would be a piece of cake for Young Master Wuyue to obtain anything in the Gusu City.

In this era where human lives were as fragile as grass, it was not easy to have a bowl of rice to eat. It was impossible for him to rebel now.

Especially since City Lord was a saber expert, he was much more powerful than any other city lord in the past. Young Master Wuyue kept half of the tax in the city, and the remaining half was left to Murong Ke.

Murong Ke no longer had to worry about money, because money came in an endless stream. However, he didn't know that the position of the city lord wasn't something that could be occupied by one person every day. Sometimes, when he encountered unexpected news, the position of the City Lord might belong to another person.

If he wanted to enjoy the treatment that ordinary people couldn't, he had to bear the responsibility that ordinary people couldn't. This was the principle in Murong Ke's heart, and also his principle as a person.

Xiao Nanfeng sighed, turned around, and sneaked into a wooden house. This wooden house was far more bearable than he had imagined. It could not be seen from the outside at all. After entering the door, everything suddenly became clear.

There was actually no one guarding this place. Xiao Nanfeng thought that this place couldn't be Murong Ke's residence. If there wasn't even a personal soldier, then what kind of City Lord was this?

Just as Xiao Nanfeng was about to turn around, he discovered that there was a piece of unpolished jade on the table. The surface of the unpolished jade was carved with carvings. Wasn't this the treasure passed down from the ancestors of the Mu Rong family?

Xiao Nanfeng raised his vigilance. He really didn't expect that any random room he entered would be Murong Ke's hiding place. There were at least three rooms in this place. The innermost room was where Murong Ke lived. Outside was the hall. The facilities in the hall were all available. In the middle was the guest room and the bridge.

Xiao Nanfeng crossed the corridor bridge and had already pulled out the knife in his hand. He would not abide by the original agreement. He was going to do it himself.
